Funnily, if you replace "robot" with "Asian" it's what (racists) told my husband when he married me. That said, I'm definitely not working as expected in that regard ;)
Indeed, I'm almost inclined to apologise to my husband that he can't return me to the manufacturer for a refund... but then I remember I’ve helped him 5x his net worth, 7x his income, buy a house, and secure a mortgage—all in under seven years.
Oh, and I did that while birthing his child, shopping for and cooking his meals to ensure he consumes at least 3-5 fruits and veggies a day, growing my own net worth, and contributing more than half to the household income so that he can enjoy the 6-month unpaid sabbatical that he is enjoying right now.
So yeah, I can’t really feel too bad for him.
Sorry, was that a humble brag? Sorry, no, it’s a full-on brag. Sorry, because I have no shame, here I am doing it on Substack, because clearly, the world needs MORE CONTENT about how great a woman is at money management, climbing the corporate ladder, and getting shit done.
I read a book called “The Contradictions of Love: Towards a Feminist Realist Ontology of Sociosexuality” a while back.
It talked about the weird paradox of men wanting power over men (ie domination over women’s agency) WHILE also wanting to feel that women were “freely giving” the gift of their love so that men got to dominate without ever feeling that they were dominating and were being loved by women of their own accord..
So I suspect men would balk at the idea of robot wives unless we can also dupe them into thinking robots have agency and consciousness. If you’ve watched the movie HER then you know what I mean 😂🤣

My apologies. Sorry.
A robot housekeeper & personal assistant sounds great. It just shouldn’t be called a “wife”.
lol this was brilliant!!!

Oops I meant men wanting power over women.
Silly autocorrect!
